「To commemorate the release, 9mm celebrated with yakiniku tonight.」

Our 2nd album “VAMPIRE” has finally been released. Today we visited the Tower Record stores in Ikebukuro, Shinjuku and Shibuya, the TSUTAYA and HMV in Shibuya as well as amazon.co.jp (we wrote autographs, scribblings and the silly comment cards, so if you’d like, go check them out). At every store, we saw people carrying it to the register to get a trial listening. Not only that, but we had people telling us “I bought it” as we were writing our scribbles. Umm, to everyone across the country who’s selling “VAMPIRE” in their store, and to everyone who went and bought it, thank you very much. Really.

The town where I was born and raised in didn’t have CD shops to begin with and the only place I could buy them was the market near my high school. So, I’d always have to order the things I really wanted to hear and I’d be waiting anxiously for the new releases from my favorite bands to arrive. There’s not a lot that’d make me happier than if 9mm’s CD’s invoked that kind of a feeling in someone. I’m hoping people will enjoy themselves when they get theirs — we enjoyed ourselves when making it, at any rate.

Now then, only 3 more days until Akatsuki no Yaon!!
